Tasty Pizza Bar & Bowl — Restaurant in St. Francis

Came here for the lunch buffet. I have had Tasty’s before (one time) and it was amazing. Their combination of cheeses and their sauce is quite delicious. I live in Anoka so it was a small jaunt of 14 miles for me. But I figured I’d try it and the least I could do is make a review experience out of it. So, the selection is very minimal of what’s currently up. I came here 1.5 hours into their buffet. The buffet still has 1.5 hours left. Now, don’t let that stop you, okay? This isn’t like Pizza Hut when they had a plethora out. No. You can request pizzas and they’ll do it. What’s up is likely what others ordered for the buffet. Why waste if people won’t eat it? As a first timer here, I was not fully aware of this. I ordered a root beer float and ate a couple slices of pepperoni pizza while I waited. The root beer float was not a good idea. Their ice cream choice was good but the root beer(unknown brand) wasn’t a good mix. The root beer flavor was overpowered to the point I couldn’t even taste it. Not Tasty’s fault. The sizes of the pizzas for the buffet are slightly bigger than a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut. They’re approximately 8”. Not very big and certainly not an effective buffet size in my opinion but, again, they’re not a huge chain or anything. Their pizza is well worth it honestly. The lady running the place today is super nice and vigilant on refills. The rating is 5* due to it being a small business and the pizza delicious and worth it for what you get. Onto my recommendation, if you have patience for good pizza then I’d recommend hitting up the buffet. The price of a pizza by itself is worth it in my opinion if you decide against a buffet. I wish they had a closer location to Anoka but this will suffice (obviously has to haha). If you’re looking for a plethora of choices and etc, try...

. I was there on sat. For lunch Waitress was great very nice good service the only thing was the bartender was alittle rude. Not enough to keep me away. they give Away delicious chocolate chip cookies. Freshly baked. The cook their is awesome best pizza I've ever eaten seriously. Just thought I'd add this to my review. I absolutely love this place best pizza ever. The one cook they had was amazing it was pretty busy and from what I seen him running back a forth getting everyone's food out and everyone seemed to enjoy it. I have 1 complaint the Waitress and the lady who sells the pull tabs must have went outside to smoke 4 or 5 times just when I was there they would come in and just the smell of the cigarette smoke was awful then try playing pull tabs on lunch break I'm on a timed lunch played a few pull tabs couldn't get my winners back to play more because she was always somewhere else smoking or talking but never a the pull tab booth so I just got my 8 dollars I won and didn't play no more so I wouldn't be late to get back.. but again that doesn't take away from the best pizza I've had in a long time delicious defiantly going back just won't play...

Tasty Pizza Bar and Bowl, where the barstools wobble just enough to keep you humble and the beer is colder than your ex’s heart. It’s the kind of place where flannel is formalwear, the jukebox has more personality than your cousin Dale, and the regulars have assigned seats no one dares question.

Here the bar serves food that doesn’t care about trends—it cares about crunch, cheese, and the sacred bond between bar stool and belly. The old school burger is a glorious, greasy time capsule—thick, juicy, and unapologetically messy. But the greasy thin crust pizza is a glorious, foldable masterpiece with crust that is cracker-thin with crispy, caramelized edges, the sauce is zesty and slightly sweet, while the cheese is a molten layer of stretchy magic. It’s the kind of pizza that bends like a New York accent and leaves a perfect orange grease stain on the napkin (or your shirt, if you’re doing it right). It’s not fancy—it’s right. And it always tastes better under neon lights with a cold beer in hand.

This is where time slows down, stories get taller, the town drunk never learns his lesson, and the beer flows like gossip at Sunday...
